Comments about ‘World mourns beloved leader’

In 1997 Pres Hinckley presided over an area conference in Denver. We were
living in Colorado Springs at the time, and wanting my small children to see our
prophet in person, we drove to the arena for the conference. The arena was full,
so we had to sit in the overflow outside and watch on closed circuit TV. Above
where we were seated was a reception room with large windows. Prior to the
start of the conference, Pres. Hinckley came to the windows and waved to all of
us seated outside. My children who were 3,4,6 & 9 were convinced he was waving
to them personally- which he surely was. After he spoke, my 9 year old son
leaned over and said, "Mom, I never knew Pres. Hinckley had such a good sense of
humor!" Since that time, my children have felt a very personal connection to him
and we have loved him and tried to follow him in all we have done. We'll sorely
miss this good and humble man, but oh, what a reunion he must have had on the
other side with his beloved Marjorie. Our prayers are with his family. He has
richly blessed us all.

Thank you for who you are for what you are and for why you are. Thank you for
where you have been. Thank you for all that you have given and for the grace
and love it was given in. Thank you for truly being a representative of Jesus
Christ in word and deed.

I join in with all my brothers and sisters from accross the world to bid farwell
to our beloved prophet. You will be missed. Thank you for you inspired messages
and your unwavering faith. You are my hero!

For myself and my family I would like to express my great appreciation and love
for our Prophet. What an excellent example he was to our family, especially to
our children. I'm happy that he is reunited with the love of his life, but he
will be missed. My prayers are with his family. I so appreciate President
Hinkley's service for us as a people but also as a wonderful ambassador to the
world.

You brought so so much dept and meaningfulness to the LDS church in all your
teachings. You have as well touched the lives and hearts of millions. Dear
Presisent Hinckley, you were one of the most spiritual Prophets who has ever
lived upon this earth. You will be so deeply missed by everyone who was touched
spiritually by your loving spirit.We will always remember your wonderful
sense of humor, which was always truly appreciated.We are happy that you
have been reunited with your one and only, beloved Marjorie.

Thank
you for your love and guidance. Until we meet again...Many hugs!

Mark Twain once said:"Let us endeavor to live that when we come to die
even the undertaker will be sorry." I believe that anyone and everyone who
knew President Hinckley will mourn the loss of so great a leader and example.
Our family is proud of all that President Hinckley has done for not only the
people of the Church or the people of Utah, but for all people aroung the world.
It is with a mixture of sadness and joy that we mourn him and reflect on his
wonderful and inspirational life.God be with you and with your family at
this time.

President Hinkley is the only President of the Church that I have known. I was
baptized about a year after he was sustained as the President of the Church. As
soon as I heard him speak for the first time I knew that he was a Prophet of the
Lord. I loved to hear him speak about doctrine and anticipate his wit. I will
miss him, but am grateful that he is now out of his pain and with his wife in
eternity.

I came back to the church shortly after President Hinckley became President of
the church. His words and service have inspired me throughout the years. He was
a great man and I am sure he was rejoicing as he re-joined his wife. We are
mourning the loss of a great man, but rejoicing his life. You will be truly
missed by millions.

I first want to say how blessed and grateful I am to have known a more wonderful
person to be a leader of todays world than President Gordon B. Hinckley. I am
happy for him. I am grateful for his guidance. And for his Love for the Gospel.
He will be missed. God Be With You Til We Meet Again. Otua Ofa Atu.

I want to be just like President Hinkley, because he is a man that did it right.
I am so happy for his sweet reunion with the billions on the other side of the
veil. The church is true and nothing can stop the work from progressing. I
sure will miss President Hinkley, but I know he would want us to act and go to
work. I love him. he was not just a man, he was a prophet of God!!

I am saddened to hear of President Hinckley's death. He is a great man and will
always hold a special place in my heart. I do know that he is so happy now to be
reunited with his beloved wife and others who have passed on before him. God
Bless.

A great moment in Church History and in the History of the World has just
occurred. Our condolences to the Hinckley Family. What a great reunion in
Heaven for all those on the other side of the Veil! We joing with all in
mourning and at the same time rejoicing for President and Sister Hinckley.
